The world's largest fly fishing tournament. One weekend each May when 500+ anglers follow the migration to Cape Cod.
2027 REGISTRATION
Tournament Day
Since 2012, thousands of anglers have come to Cape Cod each spring to fish hard, reconnect with old friends, and celebrate the fishery that brings us together.
The competition is real. But Schoolie has never been just about the leaderboard.
A Cape Cod Tradition.
Hundreds Return Each Spring.
Put to work for Striped Bass Conservation.
THE FLAGSHIP EVENT
Teams of two walk the beaches, wade the flats, and hunt striped bass the hard way — on foot, on fly, against the wind and whatever conditions the Cape throws their way.
Find the fish. Make the cast. Catch, measure, photograph, release. Then go find another.
The rules are simple. Winning isn't.
NEARLY $200,000 RAISED
FOR STRIPED BASS CONSERVATION
A tournament won't save a fishery — but it can put a community to work for one.
Since 2012, Schoolie has raised nearly $200,000 for striped bass conservation, promoted better catch-and-release practices, and supported research, education and advocacy around the fishery.
We fish because we love striped bass. Schoolie exists to make sure that love gives something back.
WHY WE RETURN
For most of the year, the Schoolie community is scattered across beaches, rivers, fly shops, guide days, and group texts. Then spring arrives — and for one weekend, everyone ends up in the same place.
Old friends. New teammates. First-timers. Lifers. People trying to win, and people perfectly happy just being there.
That's Schoolie.
